Pumpkin Butter|This Is Why I’m Full

I know, I know.. It isn’t really pumpkin season anymore.. But we misplaced this photo until today and when I found it I just had to post this Pumpkin Butter recipe! I really like toast, and so does the hubby loves to make bread.. But we decided to make Pumpkin Butter because hubby wanted to make Pumpkin Spice Chex Party mix and everything that we read said that this would make it taste amazing. Well, we didn’t end up making the Chex Mix because we ended up eating ALL of this pumpkin butter! It was so delicious, I can’t even put into words how yummy it was. I ate this Pumpkin Butter on my breakfast every morning, and Hubby definitely never caught me standing in the kitchen eating it off of a spoon.. Alright, he did.. But he only caught me twice! And compared to how many times I ate it that way, I think I hid it pretty well! Anyway, I am seriously considering canning some of this Pumpkin Butter and giving it out as Christmas presents this year.. I know, we are 9 months away from Christmas, but it’s never too early to start planning! Let us know what you think of our Pumpkin Butter and comment below with any questions/suggestions!

Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream Topping|This Is Why I’m Full

Today we found out how to make ice cream even better. Can’t be done you say? We’ll this pumpkin pie ice cream topping will prove you wrong. Try it out and tell me it can’t be done because this is awesome. We made this Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream Topping because we had extra pumpkin puree that we didn’t want to waste and it was amazingly delicious. Next time we’ll have to use the entire can, not just one up to make it that way we’ll have plenty of leftover Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream Topping.

SO the other day we wanted to make some pastries, and pumpkin was on the mind. This is what we came up with Pumpkin Spice Hand Pies! Since we had just made something pumpkin we had pumpkin puree left over, and decided we would make up a recipe on the spot. It actually turned out great! We used store bought pastry sheets, Pepperidge Farm was what our store had on hand though you can use any ol’ brand of pastry sheet to make these. Or your own pastry sheets if you’ve got the time to do that (send me a recipe??)

We cut the sheets into small strips about the size of your hand after we had rolled out the sheets to a fine thin line. With the sheet in one hand and the pumpkin mix next to you add a small amount of the pumpkin and roll it up! Make sure you put the edge of the sheet down on your baking sheet when you make these or it will open up into a blob when you bake. As you can see from the pictures the pastry sheets really like to puff up!
